Happy New Year Fabric Giveaway

I want to do somethingfunfor all my faithful blog readers and quilting friends.

I am hosting a giveaway and it's the biggest one yet!

Drumroll please... :)

I am going to give awaya package of**7 yards** of Dr. Seuss fabric from the Robert Kaufman "Cat in the Hat" and "Celebrate Seuss" Fabric lines!

There's something so enchanting about all the Dr. Seuss stories and characters. From "The Cat in the Hat" to "Green Eggs and Ham" I grew up reading all the Dr. Seuss books. I even remember eating green eggs and ham in one of my classes as an elementary school student. So it brings back many fun memories to see all the characters printed so beautifully on fabric.

Please make sure that there is a way for me to contact you (e-mail address, link to your blog) in case you win the prize! Good luck and thanks for entering!

It's funny that I never liked Dr Seuss books for my children when they were growing up because my mother didn't like Dr Seuss books. But my grandchildren, in three different families all LOVE Dr Seuss! They would thrill over a quilt or totes made with these fabrics... I've read "Green Eggs and Ham" countless times now...I really "like them in the dark"! lol

I love Dr. Suess! Reading his books to my boys is one of my fondest memories. The Cat in the Hat was my oldest son's favorite so I guess I'm going with him for sentimental reason. But the Grinch has a special place in my heart too.

AWESOME GIVEAWAY! My Favorite Seuss book is: And to think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street. It's about a boy, using his imagination, to describe what he saw on Mulberry Street. I love it because over the years, the book has changed to accommodate political correctness; I find that ironic.

There's so many great Seuss characters, but I think I'll pick Horton. I'm looking forward to taking my 3rd graders to Seussical in the spring, and I need to get out Horton Hears a Who and share it with the 8 year olds.

"Fox In Socks" was my all-time favorite Dr. Seuss book - I loved the tongue twisters, and my daughter always used to try to make me read it faster and faster until I got all tied up in the words!! But my favorite character is Max, the Grinch's dog!!

I am thoroughly enjoying all things Dr. Seuss for the second time around, since I'm now reading the books to my 4 yr old grandson. My favorite character has to be two characters - Thing 1 and Thing 2 from the Cat in the Hat.

I do love that Dr. Suess fabric. I think the favorite for us was I can read with my eyes closed. Or I am not going to get up today or the list could go on with the beginner books they were so fun for my kids. Now I use Oh the places you will go as a graduation gift.

My favorite is "Green Eggs and Ham" I read it over and over to my three boys when they were toddlers. I wanted to get some when it came out, but haven't had the chance yet. Thanks for offering this giveaway.

My absolute favorite is "Oh, the Places You'll Go." It has such a positive message and is such a metaphor for life that it is unbelievably touching! I read this book to my students every year on the last day of school. *tears*My husband also gave me this book on our wedding day with such a loving message inscribed. *swoon*What fabulous fabric!

I have to post. I love this fabric. Just found out one of my sisters is expecting. I would love to have it to make something for her new baby.As for my favorite Dr Seuss book I would have to say The Grinch, second place is Green Eggs and Ham.

oh my favorite has always been One fish, two fish, red fish blue fish!!!!I would love to make a baby quilt for my new niece and I also make baby quilts for my local hospital for the low income families they would love baby quilts made in this fabricthanks!!!Kathie

Dr. Seuss is my favorite. I haven't met a book that I don't like. My favorite is "The Foot Book". I would read that one over and over to my first born son. Now I collect Dr. Seuss books and enjoy them with my grandson. I would love to make a quilt with this fabric so I can use it while reading these wonderful books to my grandchildren. Thanks for the giveaway.

Oh that is an easy one.......it has to be "One fish, two fish, red fish blue fish"

Great fabrics! I am one of the chairs for community service for our guild. Currently we are making quilts for children who are awards of the state. They give a quilt to the child during the difficult physical exam and questioning to help comfort them. These fabrics would be wonderful to use in my next quilts!

I love Horton and Daisy Head Maisy. Adorable characters. Dr. Suess is the BEST! This is a fantastic giveaway. I would love to make lap quilts for myself and my daughters for our reading time at night. Thank-you!

Love Horton..Isn't it amazing how he sat on that egg through thick and thin? It would be great if we all had that fortitude and patience!1I teach kindergarten and celebrate Dr. Seuss's birthday every March. I am dreaming of all the fun projects I could make for my classroom and the expression on my kinder. kiddos faces when they come into a "Seuss Wonderland" on that day. Thanks for the opportunity to win such fun fabric and helkp celebrate an awesome author!Shelly HoffmanChas2454@aol.com

Awesome Fabric!!! I love the book Horton Hears A WHo! Silly elephant!!! I follow you and I will post on my blog www.wyndsweptacres@blogspot.com! I am thinking these fabric would make great kids aprons!!!!! and mitts!!

I'm a Yertle the Turtle lover myself. The good Dr. had such a beautiful way of explaining justice and fairness to children (and adults) with Yertle, Horton, and the Lorax. These are heavy issues like facism, honor and conservation but kids clearly get the message. Thanks for the giveaway, As another comment suggested, these fabrics deserve to be made into a project that can be donated to children in need.
